DIN EN 15991
Testing of ceramic and basic materials - Direct determination of mass fractions of impurities in powders and granules of silicon carbide by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES) with electrothermal vaporisation (ETV); German version EN 15991:2015

Title (German)

Prüfung keramischer Roh- und Werkstoffe - Direkte Bestimmung der Massenanteile von Spurenverunreinigungen in pulver- und kornförmigem Siliciumcarbid mittels optischer Emissionsspektroskopie mit induktiv gekoppeltem Plasma (ICP OES) und elektrothermischer Verdampfung (ETV); Deutsche Fassung EN 15991:2015

Overview

This European Standard defines a method for the determination of the trace element concentrations of Al, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Ni, Ti, V and Zr in powdered and granular silicon carbide. Dependent on element, wavelength, plasma conditions and weight, this test method is applicable for mass contents of the above trace contaminations from about 0,1 mg/kg to about 1 000 mg/kg, after evaluation also from 0,001 mg/kg to about 5 000 mg/kg. After adequate verification, the standard is also applicable to further metallic elements (excepting Rb and Cs) and some non-metallic contaminations (like P and S) and other allied non-metallic powdered or granular materials like carbides, nitrides, graphite, soot, coke, coal, and some other oxidic materials. This document (EN 15991:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 187 "Refractory products and materials", the secretariat of which is held by BSI (United Kingdom). The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 062-02-64 AA "Chemische Analyse von nichtoxidischen keramischen Roh- und Werkstoffen" ("Chemical analysis of non-oxidic ceramic raw and basic materials") at DIN Standards Committee Materials Testing (NMP).
